Lightspeed Martial Arts Academy

ightspeed Martial Arts Academy is located in Scotts Valley on 5004 Scott’s Valley Drive. Their academy has been a mainstay in this community for over 15

years.

They offer Tae Kwon Do classes for kids as young as 4 years old up to adults. They have something to offer for the whole family! Another fun class they offer is their up-beat fitness kickboxing class daily.

You may have heard about Lightspeed Martial Arts Acedemy from attendees of their after-school pickup program, called “TASMA”, which stands for Transported Afterschool Martial Arts.

They pick up from 4 schools in the San Lorenzo Valley

and their students are always excited to see their big white vans pull up! During the summer, students are still able to participate via their popular Summer Camp Program as well as martial arts classes!

The benefits of martial arts classes are manyfold and the greatest part is that they operate year-round! Their students are able to maintain their skill level and build upon it, as well as enjoy a tight-knit community.

Martial arts classes help students of all ages build discipline, focus, endurance, and self-respect. A lot of their students start with a lack of confidence in themselves and blossom throughout their training. Lightspeed Martial Arts Academy holds testing regularly to ensure that students are able to set and achieve their goals.

Lightspeed’s Academy offers a first free class to all new students. They love to see families supporting each other in trying something new, so if your family does sign up, there is a group discount. Uniforms are provided and their classes do not need to be booked in advance.
